This is an open area that has been turned into a recreational area. It looks like a clearing along the Alum Creek Trail, cleared out, and a sled hill was added, along with a roller hockey rink, and a skatepark. It looks like the bmx trail was an after though to keep the bikes off the skatepark. There is a very small parking lot, maybe 15 spaces, with at least 3 of them handicapped. I think with a turn out for any single activity, there would be no parking.There is no good place to get ready or work on equipment. I saw a bench on one side, and there were bleachers for the hockey rink. The skate park had no covered area to work on your board, and no paved area either. The bmx area was all dirt, and again no area to work on things. The same for the rink. That makes it spill into the parking lot, and like I said, that is very small.There was a port-a-potty. One. No covered area.The park is in the middle of a few developed properties. You could maybe park at them, but Im sure they would tow you. There is a road you could park on, but it is narrow. I dont know if you would get a ticket or towed for parking off the side of the road.
Great community Parks and Recreation Department. Not only do they offer action sport facilities they also provide programs for them. Not many in Ohio can say that. There are plans to add a roller hockey rink here and pour concrete over the existing dirt track so its inclusive to all wheeled sports.

2021-04-23Had a great time at this park climbing the rope jungle gym with my son. My husband often flies his drone here while we play. There is a really nice skate park, hockey rink, open field, and hockey rink. There is also a porta potty available. This park also connects to the alum creek bike trail! Its a great place to go play!

2020-12-12Not TOO crowded in the afternoons, and not all all in the mornings. All the kids seem friendly and helpful to new riders. Respectful and take turns etc. Benches for on lookers.
